We reached out to some of the authors in the #IWD2024 Curated Collection to ask for reflections on their careers and identifications of changes that still need to be made in Canadian chemistry. Read their thoughts (and hopes!) here:

A recent study explored the solid-state dewetting of Pt thin films in residual O2 to form high-index-facetted Pt nanoparticles with interband transition peaks in the UV-vis spectral range, providing advantages for application in photocatalysis. @YujunShi1

We’re investing $5M to support planning for a new @UCalgary Multidisciplinary Science Hub. When complete, it will serve as the primary research and collaboration hub for the Faculty of Science and provide expanded classroom and lab space for 2200 students: https://t.co/zlMiYM7lb3
Maria Goeppert Mayer changed the field of nuclear physics by explaining the structure of atomic nuclei. She developed a model in which nucleons were distributed in shells with different energy levels – the nuclear shell model.
#NobelPrize
Battery science has lost a giant. It was with great sadness that we learned of the passing of Nobel Laureate John Goodenough. Our thoughts are with his family, friends and colleagues.
What is quantum science? #UCalgary’s Dr. Robert Thompson explains quantum systems and concepts that are opening up a whole new world, impacting science for decades to come. Learn more: https://t.co/ATnGzSNVj2 @ucalgaryscience
Quantum Horizons Alberta (QHA) is set to take critical research to new heights. QHA will grow Alberta’s considerable capacity in quantum research through a partnership with #UCalgary, @UAlberta and @uLethbridge https://t.co/ATnGzSOt8A
“Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance, you must keep moving.”
@AlbertEinstein's life advice in a letter to his son Eduard on 5 February 1930. In the picture, Einstein is riding a bicycle in Santa Barbara, USA in 1933.
